Virtual Reality Fire Extinguisher Training

Virtual reality fire extinguisher training enables hands-on practice in a fully simulated environment, creating safer, smarter and deeper learning. Trainees wear a VR headset and use a weighted prop extinguisher to practise responding to realistic fire scenarios without live flames or smoke — it sits within First 5 Minutes’ broader Emergency Preparedness Training program.

First 5 Minutes partners with FLAIM Systems to deliver the Extinguisher PASS System. It uses advanced VR headsets with full movement tracking, a weighted extinguisher for a realistic feel, and proprietary algorithmic modelling that simulates real fire behaviour — and can be complemented with Self-Paced Online Training for theory content.

Trainees have access to over 25 scenarios and virtual training environments, including offices, warehouses, vehicles, kitchens, hospitals and residential settings. The system also pairs well with Threat Preparedness Training for facilities that face risks beyond fire alone.

Yes. The VR system delivers a completely safe learning environment with no live fire props, flammable fuels or smoke carcinogens. Trainees experience realistic fire behaviour and the feel of a weighted extinguisher without any of the physical hazards — compare with traditional hands-on fire extinguisher training to see which suits your site.

VR delivers hands-on practice with no live flames or smoke, can be deployed across many scenarios without setting up fire props, and removes the environmental impact of repeated live burns. Many organisations include both options within their wider Emergency Preparedness Training plan.

First 5 Minutes partners with FLAIM Systems to deliver a state-of-the-art VR experience for fire extinguisher training. FLAIM’s technology underpins the headsets, weighted extinguisher and fire-behaviour modelling — learn more about First 5 Minutes and our technology partners.

VR fire extinguisher training equips staff with the knowledge and skills to handle fire emergencies effectively, supporting the practical training component of an organisation’s emergency preparedness program. It can form part of the AS 3745 Compliance Essentials package as one of the hands-on training options.

With more than 25 scenarios — covering offices, warehouses, vehicles, kitchens, hospitals and residential environments — VR fire training suits a wide range of organisations across Commercial, Education, Government, Health and Aged Care, Industrial, Leisure and Retail.
